In December, the Big Hole Watershed Committee
launched our first membership campaign. We are inviting you to join our
organization and help us keep the Big Hole River the magnificent area
that attracts so many each year.
JOIN NOW
In the last year we have accomplished much:
-
Pushed for initiation of the Candidate Conservation Agreement
with Assurances program to protect the Big Hole’s fluvial Arctic
grayling. This program will hopefully become a national model for
recovery of endangered species through mutual cooperation among
landowners, conservation groups and the government.
-
Initiated the reconnection of lower Rock Creek and the main
Big Hole River near Wisdom to improve habitat for fluvial Arctic
grayling, the last native population in the lower 48-states.
-
Worked
tirelessly to improve stream flow during the hot, dry summers
of 2005 & 2006. Our Drought Management Plan has become a model for
other watersheds all across Montana.
-
Funded $428,000 in Big Hole
River habitat and riparian projects; including riparian fencing,
development of off-stream stock watering facilities, installation of
fish ladders, pool development, willow planting and stream bank
stabilization.
-
Facilitated a five-year public process to develop the
Four-County
Development Plan. This visionary plan coordinates streamside
development in the Big Hole among the four different counties that
have jurisdiction over portions of the river.
-
Incorporated and became a
501(c) 3 charitable organization.
Unfortunately none of this is possible without your
support. While money for projects is available, funds to administer
these programs and manage the organization is far more difficult to
obtain. Your support, through our membership program is critical to
continuing the operations of the Big Hole Watershed Committee.
We have numerous membership categories to choose from
including introductory, lifetime and corporate membership categories.
Life members, known as Grayling Life Supporters, receive a complimentary
Winston Boron II fly rod; other membership categories receive Big Hole
Watershed Committee apparel with our new logo, as a token of our
appreciation. Regardless of your membership level, you will receive our
quarterly newsletter, invitations to social events and be supporting the
premier community based group in the Big Hole Basin.
We urge you to join
and support the Legacy Project.
Remember, your membership contribution is tax deductible!
